"Caprine arthritis encephalitis Caprine arthritis encephalitis (CAE) is a viral disease of goats caused by a lentivirus called caprine arthritis encephalitis virus. The disease is found worldwide. Two syndromes of CAE occur. Adult goats develop a chronic progressive arthritis, whereas young goats develop a neurological syndrome, with signs of paresis or paralysis. Less commonly, mastitis or pneumonia may occur. Infection is life-long, and it may be years before signs of the disease occur. The reason for the long (and variable) period of dormancy of the virus is not known. In goats which develop arthritis, the joints become inflamed and swollen,"
"Caprinae The subfamily Caprinae is part of the ruminant family Bovidae, and consists of mostly medium-sized bovids. A member of this subfamily is called a caprine. A member is also sometimes referred to as a goat-antelope, however, this term ""goat-antelope"" does not mean that these animals are true antelopes: a true antelope is a bovid with a cervid-like or antilocaprid-like morphology. Within this subfamily Caprinae, a prominent tribe Caprini includes sheep, goat, and ibex.

As such they are ruminants, meaning they chew the cud, and have four-chambered stomachs which play a vital role in digesting, regurgitating, and redigesting their food. The genus has sometimes been taken to include ""Ovis"" (sheep) and ""Ammotragus"" (Barbary sheep), but these are usually regarded as distinct genera, leaving ""Capra"" for goats and ibexes. In this smaller genus, some authors have recognized only two species, the markhor on one side and all other forms included in one species on the other side. Today, nine"

Although most goat-antelopes are gregarious and have fairly stocky builds, they diverge in many other ways – the muskox (""Ovibos moschatus"") is adapted to the extreme cold of the tundra; the Rocky Mountain goat (""Oreamnos americanus"") of North America is specialised for very rugged terrain; the urial (""Ovis orientalis"") occupies a largely infertile area from Kashmir to Iran, including much desert country.

"Capon A capon (from ) is a cockerel (rooster) that has been castrated to improve the quality of its flesh for food and, in some countries like Spain, fattened by forced feeding. In the United Kingdom, birds sold as capons are chemically or physically castrated cocks. The origins of caponised chickens are contested. They were known in ancient China as well as in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. An early record of caponisation is found under the Roman Republic: the Lex Faunia of 162 BC forbade fattening hens to conserve grain rations, so the Romans instead castrated roosters, which resulted"

Molecular results suggest the Caviinae as so defined would be paraphyletic and ""Kerodon"" is more closely related to maras and capybaras than to other caviines. This led Woods and Kilpatrick (2005) to unite ""Kerodon"" and capybaras into the subfamily Hydrochoerinae within the Caviidae.

Of these, using the classification devised by Sabina Halupka-Resetar, and Biljana Radic, lamb was always used positively; cow and vixen referred to a person's appearance; pig indicated a person's eating habits; calling someone a fox or a turkey related to their intelligence, or lack of it; and names like cat, snake, worm,"
